The cup at the end - "My house My rules". Perfect.

[@cometgirl217]

You are spot-on with the Poirot comparison! Please don’t go into Glass Onion thinking it’s “Knives Out: Part 2.” They are wildly different - and, while each is fabulous in its own way, comparing the two would be a disservice to both (a la Murder on the Orient Express “versus” Death on the Nile)

[@Lightningrod75]

Daniel Craig is great when he's let off the leash. Try Logan Lucky to see him having fun with another character.

[@JessieW6776]

It’s funny you mentioned Chris Evans loving dogs. I read somewhere that he said the hardest acting he ever had to do was acting like he didn’t like the dogs 😆 Ya’ll should definitely do Glass Onion. It wasn’t what I expected but it was great!

[@lindabell6638]

I saw "Glass Onion" first and knew I had to watch this one just to listen Daniel's accent!!!😂

[@Mark-xx3gh]

I love finding a new reaction to this movie. It instantly became my favorite movie upon first watching. There is soooo much detail that you won’t catch on first view. when you first see Ransom’s house, they pan across the row of bottles, then you see the same row with one kidding- the one he used to fire bomb the medical examiners office. And when Blanc first meets Marta (when she walks out onto the porch), he looks down at her shoe.

[@jeffking887]

Ana de Armas and Daniel Craig were both so surprisingly good playing against character. Real chops. Loved it.

[@johngingras]

I loved this movie. A total love letter to mystery fiction, especially Agatha Christie and her character, Hercule Poirot, in particular. I haven't seen the sequel yet, but I'm looking forward to it.

[@redviper6805]

I remembered what Harlan said about Ransom, “He plays life like it’s a game without consequences until you can no longer tell the difference between a stage prop and a real knife.” Brilliant foreshadowing! when Marta threw up on Ransom that was actually baby food mixed with water. Knowing that makes it easier to watch. The movie was an homage to Agatha Christie novels. Have you read Agatha Christie? Her works broke the rules of the mystery genre; she became known as The Queen of Crime. Her novels go from 1920-1970s. Actress who played Marta gave a phenomenal performance! Glad they cut away to her reaction to the suicide; the look of horror on her face was outstanding! Like Blanc said, Harlan’s demise was the result of “a tragedy of errors.” When he pointed out how Marta could visually spot the differences between the morphine and the correct medication, he said it so quickly. Needed subtitles for that.

[@jesterforhire]

I love you two SO MUCH! Mucho love from North of Seattle. Brier, Washington. My own Mama passed in 2018 at 83 and I just turned 53. It’s so fun to “hang” with you two. I love your mutual respect and enjoyment with each others company. Anyhow, sending hugs!

[@Flix2Us]

Thank you so much! We're glad you enjoyed.

[@penguincgm489]

Knives out is my favorite murder mystery! Such a good example of unreliable narrator, characters can say things, but you know that it's not true. Such as how the Thrombeys 'seem' to know which country Martha is from, but they all said the different country😂 The Glass onion is great too, but it's a different style from the first one. So it depends on which style do you like more, then you would likely prefer that one, but it's both great! Nick got a lot of thing right in the first go! I got nothing right except knowing that Ransom is stabbing Martha with a prop knife😂

[@shainewhite2781]

Saw this on Blu Ray and loved it from start to finish! A whole lot of twists and turns throughout this movie.

[@midianmtd]

In 2005 Rian Johnson did a film noir mystery set in a 1980's Southern California high school called "Brick". Starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Lukas Haas. It's increadable. And if you listen to the music that Daniel Craig is listening to in the car, it's kinda a clue to his character in "The Glass Onion". And Nick I was excited you guys were reviewing this, but knowing about Marta's issues with lying I was babbling "Oh, no" as the first scene with her and Daniel Craig came up. I'm so sorry dude. And thanks for another great video. 😉

[@yzolakitchi]

Yes to BRICK! Astounding film. Wonderful dialogue 🥰

[@sca88]

Daniel Craig is playing a Louisiana French/Cajun character. They have a southern accent with a French twist.

[@Kasino80]

The thing about the southern accent, is, as I see it, a nod to Hercule Poirot who was often ridiculed for his accent by the people he was investigating.

[@hannahl8]

Saw this in the theatre 4 times! My friend & I still recite the donut lines in Daniel's accent 😂 Really enjoyed your reaction!

[@johnmoreland6089]

Super fun reaction! I love Agatha Christie stories and this was such a fun, modern, witty take on them. Hope you’ll do Glass Onion, too. As for another Christopher Plummer film, I highly recommend a 1970s Canadian thriller called “The Silent Partner” with Plummer and Elliott Gould. Wonderfully sinister performance by Plummer.

[@Jen-Mom]

Thanks for the suggestion! 😊

[@cuchelo1]

Another Christopher Plummer performance that is not as "dramatic" as his most well-known is his Oscar-winning turn in the film "Beginners". It's a beautifully poignant film about a father and son coming to terms with their relationship much later in life.

[@619Slipk]

The Na** child masturbating in the bathroom is a great quote, but when the movie came out the line that got the most attention was when they're all confronting Ransom before the will reading and he's telling each of them to "eat sh*t" Soooo many shirts sold with that line on it lol

[@TheAshMcG]

Great fun with this one.....Glass Onion is Pt2. That one is a good watch as well..................

[@billtodd2194]

If you ever want a sci-fi mindbender, can I suggest Predestination? The Prestige is probably the closest mainstream movie to it.

[@Odd_Bunny]

Chris Evans said the hardest part of filming this movie was having to tell the dogs no and push them away 😂

[@cuchelo1]

I like that you mention the Agatha Christie influence but how it's a different take, and how you clock that they reveal the murderer far too early in the film for it to be so cut-and-dried. So instead of a traditional Christie "Whodunit", it's more of a "Whydunit?" I think that's far more interesting and difficult to pull off. I won't spoil the second film or give too many opinions about it in case you want to do a reaction video as unspoiled as you can be, but I will say that "Glass Onion" is a very different film than this one, so just go into it with absolutely no carryover from this one.

[@deenormus1975]

Yep. Well done👏

[@brentwebster6164]

Don’t judge Rian Johnson by The Last Jedi (I would argue that most of what people hate about it was mandated by what Abrams had established, anyway). Check out some of his other stuff. Brick and Looper are both pretty great.

[@PezQ84]

Great reaction as always! Thanks guys :)

[@billtodd2194]

Phew, glad of all the other Brick mentions. I remember really liking it, but also haven't seen it in over a decade so was a bit worried it was just me. Rian also did Looper, which was very good, and Brothers Bloom, which was decent. Basically, every movie Rian has done except Star Wars is worth a watch, so rather unsure what went oh so wrong on that.

[@TequilaToothpick]

Great movie. Great reaction.

[@katashworth41]

I have no opinion on Last Jedi (as I’ve not seen it) but approve of the use of (Hello To) Jason Isaacs in the Very Excellent Death Of Stakin

[@ashleyhayyynes]

Rian Johnson made Brick, one of my favorite films. 💜

[@madelinemitchell5102]

I love ❤ this movie !! I liked Glass Onion 🎉

[@elliottbullockii3282]

This is one of my favorite mystery films. Fun reaction and I hope you watch Glass Onion next. It's just as good as the first one.

[@lindala2602]

Helping Meg would put Meg in a terrible possition with the rest of the family. I would help the grandma and the dogs

[@Myles720]

I hope you watch the sequel. I do like the first one here better but the sequel has its own charm.

[@DaleKingProfile]

Glass onion is worth a look but not as good. This is a 10, it is probably a 6 or 7. The good part of it are all the cameos you will miss when you watch it. Be sure to look them up after watching it.

[@P-M-869]

"The Game's afoot" ... Sherlock Homes

[@ddd-tu4qv]

Please, PLEASE, watch The Visit (2015). You’ll LOVE it. A perfect balance of horror and comedy

[@kn8354]

Watch glass onion it’s different but def entertaining

[@annettegreen6689]

Glass onion is a lot of fun 😊❤❤

[@YoureMrLebowski]

8:02 nick closing his eyes. 😆🤢

[@NomadBulldog]

Rian was great for this movie and Glass Onion, just not so great for Star Wars lol

[@cometgirl217]

I’m (obviously) in the minority, but I genuinely enjoyed The Last Jedi! Regardless of his admittedly-flawed script, I credit Rian Johnson’s direction for making it, overall, watchable!

[@maddwitch]

Didn’t he do Rogue One? Because that one was good.

[@NomadBulldog]

@@maddwitch nah he did The Last Jedi

[@billtodd2194]

Rian is a pretty good crime writer, too bad about Star Wars. Glass Onion is worth watching. I'd say Rian's old crime noir, Brick, is also worth a watch, though not up with the Knives Out films.

[@gmh3]

TLJ is by far the best movie in the sequel trilogy

[@couch.patati-patata]

They tried to make Ana de the next Hollywood It Girl. But it didn't get much traction.

[@DMichaelAtLarge]

Yeah, you and all the rest of us really hate Ryan Johnson. So it's bizarre that he pulled this film off so well. Why couldn't he do that for Star Wars?

[@gmh3]

he did, TLJ is by far the best movie in the sequel trilogy

[@DMichaelAtLarge]

@@gmh3 That's like saying he shit the sweetest smelling shit in three shits.

[@kuhpunkt]

"The rest of us"? Maybe... speak for yourself? I love Rian Johnson. And I think he pulled off a pretty good Star Wars... Canto Bight wasn't the greatest thing ever, but so what. Luke got something interesting to do for once.

[@DMichaelAtLarge]

@@kuhpunkt Clearly I meant the rest of us with good taste in movies.

[@kuhpunkt]

@@DMichaelAtLarge That's another really shitty thing to say.
